What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL CISCO CATALYST 8500 1-PORT OC-3 64K SMF IR UPLINK MODULE

As a If your products are considered End-of-Life or End-of-Support, it might feel like you have no choice but to get new products. This can be expensive and you might lose the value of your old hardware. But if you keep your old equipment, you will have to go without support from the Original Equipment Manufacturer. This can be difficult because you will have to solve technical problems on your own and you won’t be able to be sure that your hardware will work with the latest software or technologies. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for CISCO CATALYST 8500 1-PORT OC-3 64K SMF IR UPLINK MODULE

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not useless. It still has a lot of its value. If the product works for your company, it is good to keep using it. As long as there are no big problems with the hardware or with how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for longer by using TPM.
If you don’t have a lot of money to spend on upgrading your hardware, you can still use your existing equipment with the help of TPM. You can wait until you’re ready to upgrade, when you have the finances in order. This will help you prepare for the transition and make sure it goes as smoothly as possible.
If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to OEM parts. This can be a problem because the quality of the parts may not be as good. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to high-quality parts that are trusted and will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs will be experts in their field and may know more about your equipment than in-house technicians.
You don’t have to pay a lot for post-EoL OEM services. TPM companies offer the same skill set as OEMs but for a lot less money. In addition, TPM companies may offer a more expanded or personalized scope of work than what your OEM offers. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.
OEMs specialize in their own equipment, but TPM programs can focus on what your company needs. They might be able to repair your equipment in a way that causes little downtime or offer more services that can save you money. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also combine different aspects of OEM and TPM support if it works better for your business.
